Natural Enough.

The Davenport Democrat prints the
Pittsburg report that the Westinghouse
Air Brake Co. is about to establish new
shops in Rock Island. and in another
column asks, WHY doesn't Davenport
make an effort to get the Westinghouse
air brake shops?' Sure enough; why
not? Is there anything Rock Island has
or is likely TO have, that Davenport does
not want? Morning Union.
That's all childs talk Why don't the
Union do as the ARGUS does and urge
upon the Committee of Twenty or the
Business Mems association the necessity
of taking immediate action in this mat
ter? 1t is natural that Davenport or any
other city should want such an iBstitu
ton as the Air Brake Co. 1t would
bring 70 the city where it locates little
town in itself. And if the proper socie
ties in Rock Island don't wake up and
look after this thing. it may go else
where. The spirit of Indifference that
has been displayed in this matter is
not at all pleasing to live. enterprising
citizens. The Committee of Twenty
should do its duty or publish notice of its
dissolution. Is there nobody to call i,
together?

The ARGUS has from time to time al
luded to the advantages of the use of
electric motors as mode of moving
street cars. An idea of the extent of the
usage of these concerns may be obtained
from the following which is from the
Electrical Reoieeo:
Many will be surprised by the state
ment that more than $500, 900 passen-
gers ale carried annually in this country
on street cars moved by electric motors.
In Montgomery, Ala. electricity is used
on eleven miles of road. and the cost is
reported by the general manager to be
only one-half the cost of horse power.
Roads on which electricity takes the
place of horses are found in Baltimore,
Los Angeles. Port Huron, Detroit, Scran>
ton, Appleton. Wis, and Denver
Electric railways are either in course of
construction or under contract in twelve
other cities, and thirty companies
have been formed or other steps taken
for the building of such roads. Upon
none of these roads now in operation in
this country, however, is force supplied
by storage batteries attached to the cars
In most cases power is communicated by
an overhead conductor

The Drowning Case

The drowning case near Colona, LII ,
of which mention has been made. caused
a sensation which has not subsidized by
any means. The body of John Wilson of
Orion, has not yet been recovered. and
some people Tidicule the idea of looking
for it. Wilson was member of the
Modern Woodmen and carried $4,000
insurance therein. While the probability
is strong that be was drowned, there are
some peculiar circumstances that give
color to the claim that it is an attempt
to get the insurance without diving for
it. During the night he left his own
camp party, and said he would be back
after time and take a bath with some
one of them. Then be crossed the river
to couple of Moline fisherman, and said
he would like to take bath ia the river,
but was subject to cramps. and was
afraid TO 20 10 alone. One of them vol
unteered to go in with him. but he said
he would go back and get one of his own
party to 20 In with him. He started in
the wrong direction to do this. and the
boat and clothing were found in local
ity where it was dangerous for man
who could not swim-ss Wilson could
MOTTO battle. Wilson's father>in law
has offered S75 reward for the recovery
of the body Unless it is found it will
be hard to prove the death and get the
insurance

Rock Island was Received IN Mus-
eatine---The Injuries Serious.
There was an exciting time at the c.,
r. l. & P. depot in Muscatine Thursday
evening, when Jams Velek, the horse
thief captured in Rock Island the night
before, arrived there. A large and ex.
cited crowd had gathered, for the prison.
er has been an annoyance in the horse
tnieying line for some time, and there
were cries of shoot. him" bring q
rope. ''let's have him; we will make
quick work of him. etc, but the sheriff
hustled him into one OF the nearest hacks
and gave directions TO drive rapidly to
the jail. This was but the work of few
moments, and by the time the crowd got
half way. to the jill, the thief was behind
the bars. There was spirit manifested
at the depot that would not have taken
much to have attempted lynching, and
had it been dark an attempt would IN
doubtedly have been made, but it probably
is best after all that it has ended as it
has Sheriff Hartman told the crowd
at the Jail that he was az much opposed
to horse stealing as any man in the coun-
try, but it is all folly to talk of hanging
or lynching when we have enough
charges against the man to send him over
the road for life time Such is the
case, for there is no doubt that the pris>
oner is the same man who stole Hunts

business, his favorlte articles being guns

He was injured about the stomach and
